Hreidarsson to Offer to Play for Portsmouth for Free - Ipswich Town News

Former Blue Hermann Hreidarsson says he intends to offer his services to former club Portsmouth for free in their hour of need. The 38-year-old was released by Coventry at the end of last season.

Hreidarsson said: "I intend to do my coaching badges in England in September and October and then I intend to train with Portsmouth.

"I have decided to give them a hand because the club is on the verge of bankruptcy and in need of a new owner. I am going to turn up and ask if they want me or not.

"I was at the club for five years and I find its current state very sad. I want to train there and give something back. If they see some use in me, then great.

"I am going to take one month at a time because I think the club is only allowed to sign players for no longer than one month at a time.

"There is no doubt in my mind that I don’t expect a penny if I get the chance to play for Portsmouth again. I am in good shape and while that is the case then I intend to play on for a little bit longer.”

Hreidarsson was previously with Pompey between 2007 and 2012, while he was with the Blues from 2000 to 2003.
